the American elite eats very well...real Italian food, lots of organic fruits and vegetables, and they eat moderate amounts of calories in general.

then, you got the mass...the average Americans....they do eat way too much garbage...Probably because fruits are expensive while high calories meals at fast food and casual restaurants are cheap.

Being half Danish, half Italian...a North South comparison makes most sense. I can tell you that in Denmark, the mass is pretty close to the American elite in eating habits..... The organic movement in Denmark is the strongest in the World. Also, Denmark was the first country to ban trans fat in food...which Bloomberg made law in NYC too.

In Italy, the mass eats better than the American elite by a mile...comparing the American mass to the Italian mass is a joke...the Italians eat very healthy....even if consumption of pizza has risen quite dramatically over the last decade (Pizza being one of the least healthy Italian meals).

I have stayed in other parts of Europe and overall people eat healthier....the times where the Brits and Germans ate garbage are over...the sales of fish and chips as well as bratwursts, bockwurst and leverwursts are declining...but fatty meals such as pizzas, hamburger and shawarma pitas (some lamb dripped gyro style sandwich) have gained popularity....Still, most Europeans consume less garbage than Americans.

Northern and Eastern Europeans drink more than the Americans though..which is no good.
